Any good places for a tropical beach vacation that don't involve being complicit in colonial exploitation as in e.g. Hawaii? (hexbear.net)

I have a passport, but aside from some half-remembered Spanish courses from high school, I'm completely monolingual.

Sadly, the US prohibits travel to Cuba for vacations, otherwise I'd gladly put some money into their economy.

Everyone who i ever needed to deal with was able to speak english and all signage is in english. There was a few backpackers and young folks but the bulk of the tourists there (and it is very touristy, though nothing like pattaya or bali) were rich asians, and a few sexpat westerners with their girlfriends.

isn't this one of the clearest manifestations of colonial exploitation?
